180: Chapter 180 The Trial of the Imperial Star is Actually This Rigorous

On the screen, Lin Yun was like a golden bolt of lightning, weaving through the herd of Ming Deer!

The sonic attacks posed almost no hindrance to him, and his True Qi Body Protection easily withstood all the impacts!

He didn't even need to enter Micro-Perception; relying solely on his Perfection Realm Startling Swan Shadow and Thousand Shadow Steps, he decimated the twenty Ming Deer!

A sword flash flickered, and one Ming Deer fell. Afterimages swept past, and another Ming Deer perished.

In less than three minutes, the last Ming Deer collapsed with a mournful cry.

Lin Yun stood with his sword, his robes fluttering, completely unscathed!

"Great!" Qiao Shiyu jumped up in excitement, "Brother Lin Yun won!"

Su Yingxue and the others also let out a long sigh of relief, smiles appearing on their faces.

But the expressions of Principal Yang Qi, Shen Qingqiu, and the other teachers remained calm. They knew this was just an appetizer.

Sure enough. The moment the last Ming Deer fell, all the deer corpses simultaneously dissolved into points of light!

The light converged, and ten white light-shadow Puppets and ten black light-shadow Puppets appeared around Lin Yun at the same time!

Second-Stage Perfection!

Moreover, they were not fighting individually but had formed some kind of battle formation, coordinating with each other for integrated offense and defense! Combined Combat Techniques!

The difficulty had risen by more than one level compared to the previous herd of Ming Deer!

Lin Yun's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation. Micro-Perception!!!

That mysterious feeling descended instantly!

The world slowed down, and every movement of the twenty light-shadow Puppets, every gap in their coordination, was reflected with absolute clarity in his perception!

He moved. His sword light was like a Startling Swan Shadow, and his figure was like a thousand phantom traces.

In the state of Micro-Perception, although these light-shadow Puppets' combined combat techniques were exquisite, in his eyes, they were full of flaws.

In less than five minutes, all twenty light-shadow Puppets dissipated!

In the room, the women cheered again. But before they finished cheering.

"Roar!" Deep in the forest, two earth-shaking roars rang out! The ground trembled, and giant trees toppled!

Two massive beasts, ten meters tall, came charging from deep within the forest!

They were terrifying creatures covered in golden carapaces, shaped like giant lions but dragging scorpion tails. Golden-Armored Scorpion-Lion Beasts!

Wen Yan's heart tightened instantly.

A Tier 3 monster?! She was a Tier 3 Martial Artist and knew all too well the gap between Tier 3 and Tier 2.

Even if Lin Yun had mastered Micro-Perception, it would be very difficult to contend with absolute power!

Qiao Shiyu's small face turned pale, and she grabbed Shen Qingqiu's arm: "Auntie, why did a Tier 3 Golden-Armored Scorpion-Lion Beast appear in the third wave? This is too difficult!"

Shen Qingqiu's expression remained calm. Her eyes were fixed on the Golden-Armored Scorpion-Lion Beasts on the screen, and her tone carried a hint of certainty as she reassured her: "Don't panic, these are not real Tier 3 monsters."

"They are just simulated First-Grade False Core Realms; their strength is far inferior to the real Tier 3."

"At most, they are only slightly stronger than Second-Stage Perfection. Lin Yun can handle it."

The women felt slightly relieved, but the tension in their eyes did not diminish at all. Even if they were not real Tier 3, they were still at the False Core Realm!

Looking at the two giant beasts charging over, Lin Yun's eyes burned with raging Battle Intent.

In the state of Micro-Perception, he could clearly sense the opponent's strength.

It was indeed not a real Tier 3, but its aura was more than a notch stronger than Second-Stage Perfection. He flashed forward, taking the initiative to meet them! The battle erupted instantly!

The strength of the Golden-Armored Scorpion-Lion Beasts was terrifyingly extreme; a single swipe of a claw could shatter a giant tree that required several people to hug into fragments! The scorpion tails swept across, and the resulting wind could plow deep furrows into the ground!

But in the state of Micro-Perception, Lin Yun's movements were agile to the extreme, always able to avoid attacks at the last split second, and then seize the opportunity to leave a sword mark on the giant beasts!

However, these two giant beasts had astonishing defensive power! Even with Startling Swan Shadow exerted to its full potential, he could only leave shallow wounds on their hard carapaces, unable to cause fatal damage at all!

Lin Yun frowned slightly, but he was not anxious. Like an agile swallow, he wove and maneuvered through the violent attacks of the two giant beasts, each sword strike landing precisely on the same spot.

That was the weakest node on the carapace he had discovered through Micro-Perception!

One sword strike, two strikes, three strikes... Finally. "Crack!" The sound of the carapace shattering rang out!

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yun's eyes as his long sword, carrying condensed Qi and blood to the extreme, stabbed fiercely into the crack! The Golden-Armored Scorpion-Lion Beast let out a shrill roar, and its massive body collapsed with a crash!

The other one was also killed in the same way three minutes later!

In the room, the women let out a long sigh of relief. But the expressions of Principal Yang Qi and Shen Qingqiu did not relax.

Sure enough. The dead bodies of the Golden-Armored Scorpion-Lion Beasts turned into points of light and re-condensed!

This time, there were two figures, one white and one black. The light-shadow Puppets appeared again!

But their aura was more than a notch stronger than before!

First-Grade False Core Realm!

Moreover, the moment they attacked. "Mysterious-rank Combat Technique?!?"

Teacher Luo Xiangdong exclaimed: "The Emperor Star's trial is actually this severe; the fourth wave already features the First-Grade False Core Realm plus a Mysterious-rank Combat Technique! This..."

Lin Yun's eyes also froze instantly! A Mysterious-rank Combat Technique! What these two light-shadow Puppets were executing was clearly a Mysterious-rank Combat Technique!

Although the power was suppressed to a range that the False Core Realm could withstand, the suppression of that Realm was still suffocating!

Lin Yun did not dare to be the slightest bit careless, maintaining his Micro-Perception state with full effort. With Thousand Shadow Steps pushed to the limit, his figure turned into countless afterimages, struggling to dodge amidst the attacks of the two Puppets!

At the same time, True Qi Body Protection covered his entire body, ready at any moment to withstand attacks! The battle was more intense and more dangerous than before!

The two Puppets, one black and one white, coordinated tacitly, their attacks continuous and unending! The power of a Mysterious-rank Combat Technique far exceeded the Yellow-rank. Even if it was only Mystic Grade Low-Tier, it was enough to pose a fatal threat to Lin Yun!

But Lin Yun soon discovered that their defensive power was far inferior to the previous Golden-Armored Scorpion-Lion Beasts. Fast speed, high attack, but fragile. These were opponents that could be defeated with technique!

Lin Yun steadied his mind, continuously searching for flaws while in the state of Micro-Perception. Finally, after nearly ten minutes of entanglement, he seized the tiny gap in the moment the two Puppets connected their attacks.

Sword light appeared like a Startling Swan Shadow! One sword strike, piercing the white Puppet!

The moment the white Puppet dissipated, the black Puppet's offensive also revealed a flaw. Lin Yun took advantage of the momentum to counterattack! Another sword strike! The black Puppet also dissolved into points of light!

"Hoo... Hoo..." Lin Yun panted slightly, but his eyes were full of excitement. He passed again!

However. "Roar!" An earth-shaking roar came from the deepest part of the forest! Immediately after, a huge figure descended from the sky and slammed heavily in front of Lin Yun!

It was a terrifying giant ape standing fifteen meters tall! Covered in pitch-black fur, a pair of blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Lin Yun, its chest thumping with a thudding sound, emitting a deafening roar!

Second-Grade False Core Realm!

The elderly teacher, Teacher Zhou Qi, became serious, his tone carrying a hint of worry: "The gap between a Second-Grade False Core and a First-Grade False Core is immense; the Core Qi is denser, and the strength is more formidable. Lin Yun must be careful!"
